I'm seriously considering making legal challenges against the government's use of X.
To state my position simply: It is unacceptable for any government entity to use a for-profit, members-only private platform for communications.
I am going to delete my remaining X accounts, and then start requesting copies of everything my local government posts there.
I should not have to enter into a contract with a private company to access government communications.
Any advice / help is welcome.
If I had it my way, it would be a criminal offense for any governmental organization to post anything at all on social media if they do not first publish the same media on a .gov website.
The current status quo of gov orgs using Facebook and Twitter as their primary platform is a huge mistake. The government should not be beholden to private interests to communicate with the public, nor should the public be forced to use gated private platforms to access public information.
